Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated’s 2026 Grand Boulé is bringing thousands of members to Nashville, Tennessee this week, along with a slate of national corporate partners and an expected surge of economic activity for the city.

The biennial convention, running July 6 through 11, is supported by Prudential Financial, Amazon, Eli Lilly, Google, JPMorgan Chase, Niagara Bottling Company, and the American Diabetes Association. Together, the partners are helping expand the sorority’s programming in financial literacy, workforce development, entrepreneurship, health equity, digital literacy, and economic empowerment.

The Grand Boulé is also expected to generate significant economic activity for Nashville through tourism, hospitality, transportation, dining, entertainment, and local business engagement, drawing thousands of members and visitors into the city.

Held under the theme “The Extraordinary Power of S.H.E.: Voices of Service and Advocacy in Harmony,” the gathering is led by Dr. Stacie NC Grant, the 26th International President and CEO of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.

“This gathering is more than a conference,” Grant said. “It is an opportunity to develop leaders, strengthen communities, create pathways to opportunity, and demonstrate the impact that occurs when women use their voices and influence to drive meaningful change.”

Throughout the week, attendees will take part in workshops, certifications, and professional trainings centered on leadership development, entrepreneurship, workforce readiness, financial literacy, health equity, technology, governance, and civic engagement. The convention also features a lineup of signature events, including S.H.E. Serves Nashville: Women’s Empowerment & Resource Expo, the Social Justice & Collegiate Leaders Breakfast, the Health Justice & Friendship Breakfast, the Women Who Win Business Pitch Competition, the Zetas Got Talent Showcase & Concert, and the Power of S.H.E.
